So I was looking for familiars for some of my dragons and I had trouble finding color variants of familiars that I liked. Since their names sometimes differ so much, I ended up having to browse through all the database pages more often than not.
I thought it would be helpful if all recolors of a certain familiar would be listed on their respective Game Database site, so I've started adding all variations in the comment section. Seeing as you can only post a comment every minute or so, it's taking forever. Plus, you still have to go back, enter the name, start a search...
So my idea was that there could be links to all color variants/recolors of a familiar on their Game Database log to make finding them easier when you maybe want to collect a full set or would prefer alternate colors.

While the idea is nice, I'm going to have to lean to no support on this one, mostly to make sure your work isn't for nothing, and the fact that the database comments exist to make the database a collaborative effort in the community; this idea is explicitly stated in the announcement thread for the feature.
Maybe if there is some downtown on the development side of things, I can see them going through and adding links to all the recolors, however they likely won't for the same reason they haven't added specific information for Coliseum drops. For example, for Eliminate, the database only lists enemies the stone can drop from; there isn't any official data saying "x enemies in y venue can drop Eliminate" — the comments on the Eliminate's databse page has that information.

Well, never mind this anyway. I figured out how to put in links to other database pages and spent the whole week linking back and forth between familiars.
Sooo .... the entire familiar section on the game database should now have links to every familiar's recolors on their respective pages in the comments.

Thank you too <3 I hope it helps. It sure will help myself the next time I'm looking for a good familiar to match my dragon.
